OK indulge me, a review of the 10 articles I wrote in 2020, a productive year, including 2 labor book reviews, 2 reporting on labor topics, 1 coop/labor history, 2 on unions during the pandemic, and 3 with labor analysis/commentary. #1u #UnionYes #UnionStrong

First, the comments I sent to the #NLRB about their proposed new rule on grad student organizing, which amazingly, I don't think they ever issued! That's good since it would have been bad, and it might still come. medium.com/@ericdirnbach/…

Then an analysis and discussion of lots of labor movement data, including union membership, union elections and strikes, in @OrganizingWork. organizing.work/2020/02/is-the…

Here's a review of @ToniGilpin's fantastic book about the militant Farm Equipment workers union, for @OrganizingWork. organizing.work/2020/03/manage…

Here I take a look at the labor movement response to the #COVID19 pandemic. medium.com/@ericdirnbach/…

More discussion here about unions and the #coronavirus pandemic in @OrganizingWork. Union workplaces are safer, and that’s especially important during the pandemic. organizing.work/2020/05/the-ex…

I revisit the construction in the 1950s of Morningside Gardens, my #NYC #HousingCooperative & the labor issues reported in the coop’s documents. This provides a fascinating window into labor relations in that era of peak union membership & power. medium.com/@ericdirnbach/…

Here I discuss the labor #boycott strategy for @OrganizingWork. When do we use it, and does it work? organizing.work/2020/07/labors…

I take a look at the recent historic and gutsy strike of @geo3550, my old union, for @OrganizingWork. organizing.work/2020/09/how-gr…

One of the projects I have loved being a part of this year is EWOC, @organizeworkers, and I reviewed what it's been doing this year for @wagingnv. wagingnonviolence.org/2020/11/meet-v…

And finally, I reviewed a really great book by @ProfPeterCole about Ben Fletcher and the militant Local 8 dockworkers in #Philly, for @labornotes. labornotes.org/blogs/2020/12/…
